CHICAGO, ILL, June 16.-A big row
was threatened among the Southwest
ern lines at their meeting to-day over
the question OF sesboard rates on
grain from Nebraska points. 1t has
always been the understanding Of the
competing Western lines that the
through rate via all routes should be
the same as the rate from the sea-
board to Chicago and from Chicago
to Nebraska. Recently the Burling-
ton, by arrangement with Eastern
connections, has been making much
lower rate on grain from points on
the burlington and Missouri, via
Besrdstown, to Baltimore. This cut

THE PREsIpENr's LETTER.

The following letter was sent to the
Secretary of War hy the President TO-
day in regard to the disposition Of the
flags captured by the Union forces dur
ingthe late wsr:
81 have today considered with more
care than when the subject was orally
presented to me, the action of your
department directing letters to be ed.
drefsed TO the Governors OF all the
States Offering to return, if desired, TO
the loyal States the Union flags cap
tured during the war of the rebellion
by the Confederate forces and after
ward recovered by goverment troops,
and to the Confederate States the
hlgs captured by the Union forces, all
of which for many years have been
packed in boxes and stored in the eel
lar and attic OF the War Department.
/ am Of the opinion that the return of
the flags in the manner thus contem-
plated is not authorized by existing
law nor justified as an executive act.
request, therefore, that no further
steps be taken in the matter except to
examine and inventory the hsgs and
adopt proper measures for their pres.
ervatioD. Any direction as TO the final
disposition Of them should originate
with Congress. Yours truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

no ped and labored for the final triumph
of the good in men over the evil. He
was sure that one day the lost coin
would be restored to His Fathers treas
ury, the lost sheep to the fold, the lost
prOdigal to his home, This explains
His marvellous patience and poiSe. He
was never sOlicitous of success. He
never feared that the powers of dark
ness would put His cause to confusion.
The sublime hope of Jesus in man is to
our nope. His vision of the outcome is
to be our inspiration. This trust of
Jesus gives US confidence in ourselves.
In order to help others we must show
them that we believe in them. No mat
ter if they sometimes fail, let us not
give them up. Faith in the power of
the soul is the condition of human prog
ress. Faith in the value of the soul is
our assurance of Immortality. If it is
worth carrying beyond the boundary
line of death. it will be carried beyond
it. Jesus has convinced us that His
Father and ours sets such high estimate
upon the soul and its true life, that He
will not permit it to perish.

Sunday night, of course, draws out the
largest audience for six days at the
three houses which open their doors on
that evening. Atthe Hennepin Avenue
the boards were held by Wilson 81 Ran
kins MINISTRIES, and their very COM
mendable entertainment was enjoyed
by a crowded house. All MINISTRIES are
more or less alike, but these have
many novelties and deviate from the old
path as often as possible. The music is
invariably good. and the jokes. for the
most part fresh and funny. George
Wilson and Luke SchOOlcraft make adj
mirable end men and lend wit and hui
NOR to the entire show. The Olio con-
tainS many clever acts, notably the stat
ueS, and concludes with broad bur-
lesQue. The show will run through the
week, and viii doubtless do great bust
ness.
The Peoples has made its most fOrtu-
nate selection of bill, and "Our Boys"
will have a good week. The taking
comedy was given its first presentation
last night to a house crowded to its ca
pacity, and was received with every
token of appreciation. 1t will continue
through the week.
"FOgg's Ferry" the melOdrama in
which Minnie Madeern won her reputa-
ton, was put on and enjoyed by good
house at the Pence last night. 1t will
run until Wednesday evening, when
Little Barefoot will succeed it.

Immediately after the close of the
performance at the opera house Satur

The tragedian and the company sup

day afternoon. The train on which they
arrived brought special car contain
ing the balance of the scenery to be
used in the production. A full rehearsal
of the tragedy will be given
this morning to insure the perfect
working of everything for the opening

and the leading members of the support

be the strongest supporting any legiti-

"CHRIsT:s FAITH IN MAN"
An Interesting Discourse at the
Church OF the Redeemer.

An Interesting Discourse at the
Church OF the Redeemer.
AT the Church of the Redeemer Rev.
Marion D. Shutter spoke last evening
upon "Christ's Faith in Man."
The vice of ordinary theological sys-
tens is and has been their utter de-
probation of human nature. When we
are told that 1--WE are dead In sin and
wholly defiled in all the faculties and
parts of soul and body" that ''by
original corruption we are utterly in
disposed, disabled and made opposite
evil" is it any wonder that so many
look upon human nature as a vile and
degraded thing? Is it any wonder that
there are those who are Skeptical as to
the reality of truth and virtue? That
some boldly declare there are no such
things? Theology has much to answer
for in cOrrupting the notions of men
concerning men. Its aim seems TO have
been to point out the bad side. There
is a bad side, but there is a better.
That better side Jesus constantly
trusted and addressed. He knew that,
after all, there were solid foundations
upon which He might build. He sought
TO touch the aspirations and hopes of
men-tO lead them by the silken cords
of love, instead of by the iron chain of
fear. He saw the good there
was in human nature; He read the
magnificent possibilities of the human
soul. He 50 trusted this good and its
ultimate development that He never
seemed concerned as to the fate Of his
words. He uttered them as they came
and seemed careless of their preSenta-
ton. He never wrote sentence. All
that He said has come down to US
through the reports of others, c0lored,
it may be in some cases, with their own
more material notions. Christ never
troubled Himself about the result of
His words or work. In the parable of
the sOWer He felt sure that however
many of His words might fall by the
waySide and be picked from the trOd-
den pathway by Wayside fowls, however
they might fall upon the underlying
rock or among thorns and briars, yet
there was good ground in the human
heart upon which others of his words
would fall and Gene to harvest. He
was willing to live and labor for men, or
die for them, if that would be better.
No one ever devoted himself with such
WhOle-heartednesS to this single service.
This is inexplicable, except upon the
supposition that lie was profoundly con-
WINGED of tine worth of man and the
final triumph of his better nature. In
spite of the Weaknesses and fol-
lies and sins which Jesus knew
